In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar, orange juice, sesame seed oil, and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the garlic, ginger, orange zest, cayenne powder, and one tablespoon toasted sesame seeds. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat. Transfer wings and marinade to a gallon zip-top bag and refrigerate for 2 hours to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 425u00b0 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire baking rack on top. Remove the wings from the marinade, reserving the marinade for the glaze, and place the wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown.

While the wings are roasting, make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, stir the reserved marinade and the remaining tablespoon of brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, until the glaze has reduced by about a third and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Remove the wings from the oven, brush both sides with the reserved glaze and return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the wings are caramelized and golden. Pile on a platter and garnish with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
